Elders o f tribes are passing away,” he says, “and with them the knowledge o f our sa cred ways and practices.” Katchia needs the film to com plete his degree; but he has already completed several other projects, including a music Video for local rappers Bigg B and N 8, which can be seen on his youtube chan nel along w ith some o f his other work.
